THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER Between Guilt and Grace
“It’s alright, Cleo,” Julia said gently, her voice steady and reassuring. She studied her for a brief moment, eyes perceptive, weighing every flicker of emotion before continuing.“It was your brain trying to protect you.”Her jaw tightened. “By doing nothing?”“By keeping you alive.”That hit differently.Cleopatra’s expression faltered for a split second.Julia’s voice softened, each word measured with quiet precision.“When we’re faced with overwhelming danger, the mind doesn’t always choose to fight… or to run,” she said gently. “Sometimes, it chooses to freeze. It isn’t a conscious decision—it’s your body protecting you in the only way it can. What follows is the guilt… the self-blame.”“No…” Cleopatra whispered, her voice trembling as she shook her head, more urgently this time. “No… it was my fault. I was the cause of everything… I should have never auditioned…”“You were a victim in that moment too.”“I wasn’t!” she snapped, louder now. “They were the ones who died!”Her voice

“No, all good,” she replied gently. “Just lay down with me.”Without hesitation, he did.His arm shifted slightly, careful not to disturb her as he settled in beside her warmth. “If you feel any pain… please tell me early,” he said softly, the worry in his tone impossible to hide.“I’m not,” she whispered, her voice calm as she rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.“…Alright, Fairy,” he replied.But even as he said it, his fingers curled slowly into a fist, the quiet tension betraying the storm of concern he still held inside, unwilling to let go completely even in the comfort of having her safe in his arms.“Ain't going to eat, what will you like to have” Calvin asked No response.His eyes scanned her only to notice she had fallen asleep, a smile curling on his lips. “Sleeping beauty” he muttered to himself ***Cleopatra’s fingers swept across the bed cold sheets, untouched.Empty.Her eyes snapped open.“Cal…?” Her voice trembled int

She suddenly spread her legs, placing her hands together above her head.“No… punish me,” Cleopatra replied, her voice trembling with a bold, provocative edge.His smirk deepened.He leaned forward, closing the distance between them with slow, deliberate control. His lips caught her shirt and lifted it just enough to expose her breasts, his gaze darkening as it took in every reaction she failed to hide.“Good…” he murmured. “So you’re prepared for me.” his mouth found her right n****e while his other hand groped the other left pink bud.“Ahhh” she whimpered heat surge through her body, her moan made his touch intense as his thumb continued teasing her pink bud so as his mouth sucking hungrily on the right n****eHer breath hitched.“Ahh… Cal… ahh Cal…”Trembling as she reached for him instinctively.“Kiss me… Cal… please, kiss me…”Heat surged through her body at his words and proximity, her thoughts scattering as his touch grew more consuming, more confident, pulling her deeper into
THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER When the Music Turned Dangerous
Cleopatra tilted her head slightly, eyes narrowing with quiet curiosity.“Good news… or bad?” she asked, her voice calm but laced with anticipation.On the other end, Katie let out a soft chuckle, warmth spilling through her tone.“Good, of course.”Cleopatra straightened instantly, interest sparking in her gaze.“Then don’t drag it, give it to me.”There was a brief pause, as if Katie was savoring the moment.“Congratulations,” she finally said, her voice bright with excitement. “You’ve been selected as one of the models heading to Verenna.”For a heartbeat, Cleopatra froze.Then—“Wait… what?!” she burst out, her composure shattering as disbelief flooded her expression. “Oh my God, are you serious?!”Katie laughed softly. “I am. I just didn’t want to say it in front of Guinevere. I thought it’d be better if you surprised her instead.”A slow, mischievous smile curled on Cleopatra’s lips, her eyes gleaming with intrigue.“Oh, she’ll definitely be surprised,” she murmured, a hint of t
THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER His Sweetest Weakness
Cleopatra rose from the cold floor, only for Calvin’s hand to shoot out, steadying her.“I’ll go. You stay here,” he said, voice low but firm, eyes flicking with something unreadable.Cleopatra laughed lightly, brushing off the tension. “Haha, Cal… why are you acting suspicious? Who would want to harm me?”Calvin’s gaze darkened as his mind replayed every move he’d made with JK’s lackeys over the past few weeks. He stood straighter, his fingers cupping her chin gently. “Fairy… you’ve been working hard all day. I came to make sure you rest. Don’t worry about a thing. I got this.”A soft, grateful smile spread across Cleopatra’s face as she sank onto the bed, her tension melting. Calvin strode toward the door, each step purposeful. But the moment the door swung open, his sharp eyes caught an unfamiliar figure.“Who are you?” His voice dropped several octaves, dangerous and unyielding.The delivery man froze, glancing nervously to the side. “Hi… sir. I’m here for the delivery,” he stamme
THE COLD-HEARTED CEO'S REBORN LOVER Under His Gaze
“You saw it too, didn’t you?” Calvin’s voice slipped out low, probing, as though each word was designed to pry something open. “How much Guinevere and Anthony shaped her to the point she turned down her very first debut.” His gaze tilted, sharp, invasive. “So tell me, do you really trust her?”Katie didn’t answer immediately. The pause stretched, thin as a wire ready to snap. Then steady, deliberate.“I do.” Her eyes didn’t waver. “Cleo doesn’t bend once she decides something. You know that. She doesn’t betray her own words.” A beat. Softer, but firmer. “Yes, I trust her.”“Do you?” Calvin murmured, almost amused. “Or do you just need to?”Silence.“I trust her”Then he exhaled, as if concluding an experiment. “Fine. Get ready.” His lips curved, but there was no warmth in it. “Your model is about to become a supermodel.”Katie’s brows snapped together, irritation laced with something deeper, something suspicious. “Why do you sound like she isn’t your girlfriend?”That got a reacti

Cleopatra stepped out of the taxi, slowly lifting her head as her breath caught at the sight of the towering INK Model skyscraper before her. Gleaming beneath the sky, its exotic design and flawless structure seemed to embody both elegance and ambition. For a moment, she simply stood there, mesmeri

A week later, Cleopatra jolted awake by a message from Katie, summoning her to the INK Model Company. She rose at once and freshened up. Midway through breakfast, her gaze drifted to the wardrobe she had already inspected; nothing inside would truly make her shine.Once she finished her meal, she r

‘Cal…’ he muttered under his breath, and memories he hadn’t dared touch in years surged forward, crashing over him like a river long buried, carrying the ache, the warmth, and the weight of a past he thought he had lost.”“What else can I serve you?” she asked again, a small smile curling at the co

“Now that’s the spirit, girl!” she exclaimed, her voice alive with excitement. “Getting into the spotlight won’t be easy. Start with backstage work for now, while I comb through potential brands. Securing even a few good ones will give your debut a real edge.”“Okay thanks Katie” Moments later, Cl
